Hello Steve,

13/9/44: Lt. Johannes Neumann, 1./JG 300, KIA after aerial combat with P-51, Hasselbach in a 109G-6/AS,we.5 - WNr.166474 (probably built at the Mtt.-Werke in Regensburg, but not certain)
Probably combat with Mustangs of the 357th FG around 11u40 over the Halle-Leipzig Sector.

Hi Dirk, from an equally freezing UK!
Many thanks indeed for the information for Neumann, this really helps.

Ive read so many good reviews on the Lorant/Goyat 'Jagdgeschwader 300 books, are these still available and what is the cost?
Id like to purchase these if still in print.

Best regs,
Steve.

Steve risks generalising from the particular. The sun's out in Devon.

Steve, both volumes are a "must have" They are available from Eagle Editions.

Evening Steve,

I knew two stores in Belgium who sell these two volumes. The one in Brussels is called "Librairie de L'Escadron". Unfornetatly no websale. But here is a link to an article about the shop. It's in Dutch but perhaps you can swing it through a translator: http://www.brusselnieuws.be/artikels...-over-oorlogen

The other one is called "De Krijger" in Erpe-Mere (near Alost/Aalst). They have a (small) website: http://www.dekrijger.com/

I can't remember how much I paid for the first vol (about 80€), but vol 2 had a price tag off 106,60€.

Kind regards,

Dirk
